Lithion batteries have a long-known reputation for "blowing up", "exploding", and catching on fire. When I was with DOD R&D (with uncle sam) - I heard of secure comm gear items catching fire and exploding in this way. The mechanics, chemistryimics, and electrolytics of it all - I couldn't say. I got A in differential equations, but only B in chem 101 and 102. I could minimize a mean karnaugh map tho! My son-in-law MD, took every course in organic chem, known to man. I doubt he knows either.
I think the mil and dod used MUCH MUCH larger Li battery packs tho. Fred, FL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
